WELCOME!

Our Downieville Speaker Series event was a huge success! Thank you everyone!

The Marin Museum of Bicycling is a premier bicycle history museum and cultural center in Fairfax, California. We display key examples from the 19th century Golden Age of Cycling, an expanded Mountain Bike Hall of Fame collection showing the birth and evolution of the mountain bike, and many more bicycles: road, track racing, touring, and everyday transportation.

Creating a bicycling museum in Marin County is a decades-long dream that finally became reality. In 2013 our all-volunteer team of friends in Fairfax set up our nonprofit and began to design our space, fabricate exhibits and arrange for long-term loans of extraordinary bikes dating from 1868 onward. Working with the team in Crested Butte, Colorado, we moved the Hall of Fame to Fairfax. Now, the bikes, biographies, photos and Fame are on display — and we continue to expand our collections.

MT. TAM LEGACY WALL

Project now 75% complete!

March 27th Project Update: The bricks are now installed on the 3rd quarter (museum side) of the wall! The final grouting has been done and the sealer applied. We will be in touch with everyone who purchased bricks for this quarter soon with details of the christening party!

So 75% of the wall is now complete—and it looks fantastic! Stop by when you’re in the neighborhood and check it out, there are some really great bricks!

Each Legacy Wall brick tile purchase helps fund the cost of running the Marin Museum of Bicycling, the new home of the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame and the Igler Collection of 19th-century bicycles. This is our biggest, most important fundraiser to date and it’s a way for you, your family or your group to show your support and achieve monumental visibility.

We are now selling tiles for the 4th and final quarter on the “Museum Side”of the wall, which is visible from the museum itself and is especially visible during all our special events. Space is first come, first served. There’s only ONE Mt. Tam Legacy Wall, so don’t delay—order today!
